Custom Functions 3
- Dial direction during Tv/Av: Normal – I leave this at normal, but if you want to flip the direction of dials, you can set it to “Reverse direction”.
- Control ring rotation: same, you can either keep it at normal or reverse the direction.
- Customize buttons: this is one of the most important menus in the camera, as it allows customizing function button behavior. Let’s go through each one:
- Shutter butt. half-press: Metering and AF start – if you want to switch to back-button focusing, then change this to either “Metering start” or “AE lock”. I keep mine at AE lock to only lock the exposure when I half-press the shutter release. To focus, use the AF-ON button on the back of the camera.
- Movie shooting button: I don’t like that the EOS R6 will automatically start shooting video when the movie shooting button is pressed, which sometimes happens by accident. Since the button will work when you set the top PASM dial to movie shooting mode anyway, I change the default behavior of this button to give me something more usable for stills shooting. I set mine to “One-Shot AF – Servo AF”, which makes the button very useful for quickly switching between single and servo autofocus.
- AF-ON button: Metering and AF start – I want to use the rear AF-ON button to focus, so I keep it at this setting.
- AE Lock button: AE lock/FE lock – you can change the behavior of the AE Lock (Asterisk) button as well. I prefer keeping the default, as it works great for locking exposure when shooting panoramas.
- AF point button: AF point selection – I keep this at default.
- DOF preview button: depth-of-field preview – I don’t particularly use this feature, so I changed mine to “Switch to registered AF func.” With this setting, you can instantly switch to the desired AF method, tracking sensitivity and speed by simply holding the button, which is pretty sweet.
- Lens AF stop button: AF stop – controls the behavior of the lens AF stop button.
- Multi-function button (M-Fn): Dial function settings (default) – this is to quickly access key camera settings, such as ISO, drive mode, AF mode, etc.
- Set button: Set AF point to center – resets the autofocus point to the center.
- Multi-controllers: Direct AF point selection – to use the joystick for moving the focus points.
- Movie Side / Right Side: I keep all the settings at their defaults for movie shooting, with the exception of DOF Preview Button, which I set to display the Zebra pattern.
- Customize dials:
- Main Dial: Shutter speed setting in M mode – you can control the behavior of the vertical dial on the top of the camera in Manual mode to either change the Shutter speed (default) or Aperture.
- Quick Control Dial 2: Set ISO speed – this controls the top horizontal dial, which is by default used to adjust camera ISO.
- Quick Control Dial 1: Aperture setting in M mode – the large rotary dial on the back is used to adjust lens aperture by default, but you can change the behavior here.
- Control ring: Exposure comp. (hold meter. btn) – you can customize the default behavior of the control ring on the lens.
- Clear customized settings: this clears the above customizations to defaults.
